Good that these "same" tasks are split into two steps, ones that don't notice the additional presence of .gitmodules (i.e. the previous step) and the result that do. Strictly speaking, gitlink support in the index and trees does not have to be used to record submodules, and changing all "git add" to "git submodule add" is somewhat a sad change that closes the door to those folks who want to use the mechanism for implementing "better submodules" that do not depend on a separate .gitmodules files, for example. To leave the door open, "git add" may need to learn an overriding mechanism allow adding a gitlink to the index without anything else. And then this step could use "git add -f" (or whategver the overriding mechanism) instead of "git submodule add", without changing the expected diff output. Would such a tweak make this step better?
